Challenge #7 in the The Songs Of Life series. Hosted by The Bacon Wagoneer.

Mesa Arch is delicate and the drop is impressive from the edge, except for some that enjoy posing on the edge!

While I can admire the color and composition of this image, the activity it glorifies is definitely UNcool. Climbing or even going under arches or certain natural bridges is considered disrespectful of the Native Americans in the region; particularly the Navajo. In addition both Arches and Canyonlands National Parks have banned the climbing of any named arch in either park. I have photographed Mesa Arch at sunrise myself and I think it is a glorious location. We should show it the respect it deserves!
